If I recall Siposs was ranked 28th/32. For a SB contender that is pretty bad. And although rankings may not tell the whole picture,the fact he was near dead last should be fairly telling if you have a brain. Whomever they choose needs time to get the feel of the LS. Love the things Howie has done,but like Hurts,they dropped the ball here. Hope we find someone decent soon

It's not supposed to be a CHOICE,it's supposed to be all of the team,that INCLUDES a punter. Maybe with a decent punter we could get that extra FG by pinning the opponents back???? Worked for FSU . Now before you say the college game is different I agree,but BOTH puntersFSU and LSU) were better than Siposs. What happens at another position has zero to do with having starting punter

Is it legal to get the college punters to play for the Eagles?   

I could care less if junior high punters are better... what matters is if there are eligible punters available that are better. 

Again...do you ever remember the Eagles not having a punter on the 53?

Is it not obvious that it's a sign they are looking for a punter?  They only have a certain group to choose from right?

1) No,unless they were undrafted UDFA's  2) He's been low rated for awhile now 3) No but jebus it's the last minute 4) yes,they waited too long,now there is a line outside the Linc

I found a solution.   Howie should go impregnate someone... put her in a lab to speed up the pregnancy...get the kid to graduate high school and college this week... then become eligible... clear waivers... and then we can sign him. 

Otherwise..  LSU, FSU, UFE, YOU, and any other initials for a college team... we would have to wait a year for them to be eligible.

No prospects around for 2 years now? I mean NOONE??,yet the other 31 teams found one???

Why isn't ariaza working out here? Another guy named Haack has possibilities, you're telling me noone is out there? Not buying

Did they though?   Did other teams release punters and that's who are eligible. 

Idk what happened behind the scenes.  I thought they are a dime a dozen....apparently they don’t seem to be that good.   

If you look at the stats...if our guy averaged another 4 feet, he would be in the top half of the league.  

That's kinda been my point all along.  Ray Guy isn't in the league right now. Let alone available 

Fine resign Siposs LOL

IDk who got snapped up early on. I know a few changed teams. I mean at this point I would use a low trade pick next year if thats what it takes if we plan on another SB run,we need every facet to function

IDK but they are ready to go on week 1. Whomever they have has been snap practicing with the LS for awhile now. every LS has a different feel and they need to get used to it

He was 26th in gross...   29th in net

45.6..    and 40.6

The 16th punter had 47.1 gross with a 40.9 net.    3/10 of a yard....less than a foot.  

Right there it shows you...not much out there.  

3 punters had over 49 yard gross.  13 punters had 42 or better net. 

He was irrelevant except for one punt where 6 of our guys were unblocked and should have made the tackle around the 30 of KC. 

If you can predict that fluke play...and which punter could avoid that... God Bless.

The message is clear...we don't have a punter on the 53.    Getting one that's different doesn't necessarily mean better.   It's not even like he is the worst out of 32 teams right...imagine those 6 other teams ...lol.

And they might..  but who would you trade for that is available.. it's not hard to go Google some stats to see the market.

Knowledge is power...  at least Ham has a guy pinned up on his ceiling over his bed that he has wet dreams about.  It's a name, might not ever be in the league but it's a name.... who you got other than acting like a 5 year old complaining about our guy.  Come up with a name...compare the stats and suggest it.

Really.  That is your thing now..... the punter needs to get used to the snap? 

Really?   E =mc2

Ok... so my point.... 26 or 29....or anywhere in between... do you suppose guys thar aren't on teams ....free agents off the street ..etc.  Are going to automatically be better?

Obviously 32 jobs....the top 32 should already have a job right?    

But historically... do you think Superbowl teams need top punters?  I've never noticed that?

Just curious if one of the 6 dudes who was unblocked makes the tackle ..if the narrative changes to...  " you gotta love Howie, he is even out there looking to improve the punter, always working"  idk...now I think you would prefer someone worse, just because it's different.

Idk... again... the punters in the league must really suck if they only average a yard more than our guy?  I don't follow punters....but it must not be good.   Kinda been my point... because 31 teams don't have a better punter. 

Bosa and Jones are going to raise the bar for Parsons.   I believe Jerry pays him at least 35 mil per.  

Reports are that the 49ers already agree to pay Bosa more than 30 mil per....they disagree on how much. Apparently Bosa isn't going to settle getting less than the top D player.

Pure genius adding Hargrave at that price...lol.  Cap strapped and not even paying a QB yet.   Lol.   Brutal.   But they have a better punter. 

My bad... the SF punter wasn't as good as our guy last year.

Wonder if their fans are focused on that. Nothing else they do wrong there. 

You know... it's amazing the success that the 49ers had with that kind of punting.

That Running QB did what you said he couldn’t..,win in the postseason.

They should be a better team than us....it's all about the LB.

Arguably our biggest competition

Right....even with Hurts telling his teammates the fumble cost us the game... you  can't see it.

But I'll ask you... if the punt went out of bounds on the 1 yard line...what makes you think they don't go 99 yards to score?  Gannon had nothing.  

That would change the clock. In turn changing the ending.

Who was #1 and what were his stats? I posted articles about :guys out there" if you fail to read them it's not my fault

They don't have a punter on the 53.  When has that ever happened  before.   How big of an idiot does one have to be not to realize they are looking for a punter???

How big of an idiot to you have to be to finally realize not looking for competition and a replacement a year earlier was a huge mistake? Especially a year later when they won’t even roster the guy recognizing how bad he has been. But nope..,there was no need to even bring in competition last season. GM of the Year….had to be correct on everything last season.

I don't give a crap about the 9ers,I want a good punter for the Eagles
